November charDUG Meetup

This month's meetup was a good one, Dave Ingram led a such a good discussion on the Drupal Commerce module that I had a difficult time remembering to take notes. Unfortunately, what follows is just the highlight reel:

Introductions

Mark Shropshire

• Changes to LunchCamp
  • Once a month format seems to be working out
  • Everyone seems to like the new location
• Changes to RoundTable
  • Keeping presentations at about an hour in length
  • Time for Q&A afterward
  • Post-meetup beers are a success
• Changes to Tech Co-Working
  • Consider switching the day to the last Thursday of the month
  • Won't be trying again till January

  • Contracts
• Commerce Kickstart has a great help section, right out of the box
• Easy to plug-in payment processors
• Using Rules module to do:
  • Buy one, get one free
  • Free shipping over a certain amount
  • etc…
